A step above your average entry-level sedan but not quite a luxury car, Volvo's premium S40 offers a unique exterior design and a refined interior. A healthy dose of standard equipment includes automatic climate control, an 8-way power driver seat, an 8-speaker stereo, Bluetooth, and 17-inch alloy wheels. For extra performance opt for the 227-hp turbo 2.5-liter engine, and if you live in areas prone to inclement weather you may want to spring for the all-wheel-drive model.
